Sometimes, big sounds come in big packages—and this Klein 457 12-string is precisely that. This is an instrument that fills the room, and then some. One of our clients, in love with the 6-string 457 we built for him, decided to immediately commission this beauty to complement it. Premium Brazilian Rosewood back and sides with Sitka Spruce on top, a one-piece Rosewood neck (!), and a 26.25-25” multiscale setup for even more power and clarity. This 457 plays like butter, and is equally at home with a light touch and a more aggressive attack; it’s got gears for days, which isn’t something we often see with 12-strings.

This is what the 12 string should be. Super easy to play, big wide sound that would be so beautiful on a recording or behind a group or simply sung over. The large body and fan frets are the key here. It gives a breath and a spaciousness that makes 12 string sing.
